Amazon Fire TV owners can now ask Alexa to play Apple Music.
Apple Music launched on Amazon Fire TVs in the United States on Wednesday. It is the latest sign of Apple's continued push to get its services, including Apple Music, in front of as many people as possible. Apple Music launched on Amazon's Echo smart speakers late last year.

Eventually dubbed a bug, Apple Music also appeared briefly on Google Home units but was never active before it was pulled offline.
The addition to the Fire TV means customers can now ask Alexa to play tunes right from Apple Music, instead of from Amazon Music, Spotify or other streaming music services supported by the platform. To enable it, simply the Alexa app on your phone and activate the Apple Music skill, which will require you to log-in to your Apple account. If you've already set up the skill on your Echo, you don't need to do it again for your Fire TV.
